Summary

Seymour Intermediate School in Seymour, TN, serves 531 students in grades 4–6 and is part of Sevier County Schools, a district that ranks in the 34th percentile statewide. Despite that, Seymour Intermediate posts academic results meaningfully above both district and state averages in every tested subject — math (49.2% proficient), ELA (48.0%), science (53.5%), and social studies (55.1%). It is the strongest intermediate school in the county, beating every nearby Sevier County peer by wide margins.

Compared to Pigeon Forge Intermediate School, Sevierville Intermediate School, and Northview Intermediate School, Seymour leads by roughly 16–23 percentage points per subject, with the biggest gap in social studies. It also outperforms its feeder Seymour Junior High School in ELA, science, and social studies. Academically, 4th grade ELA is exceptional at 61.3% proficiency, and 6th grade science and social studies are also strong. The school has improved rapidly since 2022–23, especially in social studies, which jumped from 37.4% to 55.1% in a single year. All of this is achieved with moderate spending: $14,516 per student is actually lower than several nearby schools that score far worse, suggesting efficient use of resources.

The clearest concerns are chronic absenteeism and a 5th grade reading dip. Chronic absenteeism sits at 23.2%, above the state average of 18.3% and up from 10.6% a few years ago — though several surrounding schools, including Northview Junior Academy and Carter Middle School, have even higher rates. Meanwhile, 5th grade ELA proficiency drops to 40.4%, below the state average, before partially recovering in 6th grade. If the school can improve attendance and target that mid-intermediate reading slump, it is well positioned to remain the standout intermediate school in Sevier County.
